Alan took a couple pics of Kent's iconic black squirrels.
Glen is experimenting with a technique to lift the concrete driveway slabs.
They've settled a bit unevenly.

orange blaze peppers. Turns out they're a bit hot for our taste. In hopes that
they are also too hot for the deer, I crushed some, mixed them with oil and water,

We had yet another prolonged power failure (almost 12 hours). For the second time,

at some point.
Kent started having a little Fall Break this year, enabling a 4-day weekend
at home for Roger and Alan.

Happy birthday, Sammy Grandinetti!
